Title: Dynamic Spatial Partitioning for Realtime Visibility Determination

Abstract:
 As consumer graphics hardware becomes faster and more capable, it is becoming
 desirable for realtime interactive content to become more dynamic. However, the
 static spatial partitioning mechanisms used in current interactive systems, such as
 games and other virtual reality environments, are not suitable for a fully-dynamic
 interactive environment. In our ongoing research, we explore mechanisms for
performing on-the-fly spatial partitioning, and apply them to various algorithms
for visibility determination.
